MEET THE S. AURORA TEAM
KJ
Manager and Patient Coordinator After graduating from Fort Lewis College in Durango in 2004, I joined Colorado Orthodontics. I assist with our new patients during their initial consultations and also act as our practice manager. I absolutely love my job! I feel our doctors make a difference in our patients’ lives. We are lucky enough to have a job where we help build self-esteem and improve confidence in people. We truly do deliver happiness, one smile at a time! When I am not at work, I love spending time with my little girl, Madison. She is my pride and joy, and I can relate on wanting to change your child’s life to make it the best you can. I highly enjoy the outdoors, from hiking, skiing, and running to the indoors of hot yoga and boot camps. I feel very fortunate to be a part of Colorado Orthodontics and I can’t wait to greet you when you come to our office.
Alyssa
Aurora Office Manager (Bilingual) I joined the Colorado Orthodontics team in 2007, I have been working in the medical field since 2001. I was born and raised in New York and spent three years with my family in Ecuador doing missionary work, where I became fluent in Spanish. In 2005, I moved to Colorado with my family where I met my wonderful husband that I married in 2006. We are the proud parents of our two beautiful children, Liam and Josalyn. We love going hiking as a family and we love cruises!
Trish
Orthodontic Assistant I graduated from Emily Grffith for dental assisting in 2011 and have been part of the All About Braces team since 2014. I enjoy working as an orthodontic technician and giving you the smile I know you deserve. When I am not working hard at All About Braces/Colorado Orthodontics, I am spending time with my three daughters and my granddaughter, who take up all of my free time.

Our team
Our experienced and dedicated team is the heart of our practice, with several team members proudly serving our patients and community for more than 17 years. That longevity reflects the passion, commitment, and relationships we’ve built with generations of families who trust us with their smiles. When we’re not in the office creating confident, healthy smiles, you’ll find us enjoying everything Colorado has to offer—hiking scenic trails, biking beautiful mountain paths, attending live music events, or simply enjoying a night out with family and friends. We’re proud to call Colorado home, both as the place we work and the place we love to live.
